Blood Oath tracklisting: 'Blood Oath', 'Dismal Dream', 'Pray For
Forgiveness', 'Images Of Purgatory', 'Cataclysmic Purification',
'Mental Hemorrhage', 'Come Hell Or High Priest', 'Undeserving',
'Provoking The Disturbed', 'Martial Decimation'.
Last month, Suffocation checked in from the studio to offer an
update on the progress of Blood Oath:
“We've just completed another shift at Full Force Studios (6pm -
2am, typical shift). As for a progress report - we've completed all
the drum tracking and rhythm and bass guitars as of this past
Sunday. What we'll have left to do starting today is record guitar
solos and getting Frank (Mullen) in there to lay down the vocals.
We're looking to wrap it up next week and start rehearsing a set
for the up coming Blood Apocalypse
Tour soon after that. All in all, we can honestly say
this record is SLAMMIN’ HEAVY and we got some nice little twists
for ya' too. We look forward to crushing some stages for you all
real fucking soon!
Also, videographer Jon Bickford has been in the studio with us
shooting the final segments (‘Blood Oath’ studio sessions and
interviews) to be included in the forth coming Suffocation
DVD!”
